You sound stressed. I can feel your pain.

Soak it is WD-40 overnight and set it aside. Tomorrow you will feel a bit more patient and the damn thing might have loosed up. Sometimes it's like they epoxy that thing in place with their metal coating.

See page 2 step 4:

Rest assured it will come off. I've switched out my gas tube cover and my Dad's multiple times. Just get a good punch and lay into it! Be sure you're hitting it nice and square though.
